“Honors achieved far exceed those that are created.”

I grow old learning something new every day.

He that will sell his fame will also sell the public interest.

If all men were to bring their miseries together in one place, most would be glad to take each his own home again rather than take a portion out of the common stock.

Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

I grow old, ever learning many things.

No man is happy; he is at best fortunate.

Each day grow older, and learn something new.

We can have justice whenever those who have not been injured by injustice are as outraged by it as those who have been.

Many evil men are rich, and good men poor, but we shall not exchange with them our excellence for riches.

If through your vices you afflicted are, Lay not the blame of your distress on God; You made your rulers mighty, gave them guards, So now you groan ‘neath slavery’s heavy rod.

What thou seest, speak of with caution.

In the ideal State laws are few and simple, because they have been derived from certainties. In the corrupt State laws are many and confused, because they have been derived from uncertainties.

That city in which those who are not wronged, no less than those who are wronged, exert themselves to punish the wrongdoers.

Laws are like spider’s webs: If some poor weak creature comes up against them, it is caught; but a big one can break through and get away.

Men keep agreements when it is to the advantage of neither to break them.

On the field, you come into sync with your teammates and coaches and together you achieve something that you could never do on your own.

Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It’s a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.

People had lost trust in governance. Getting back that trust, instilling a sense of hope and belief that good governance and development would be back on track, is my biggest achievement.

For perfect hope is achieved on the brink of despair, when instead of falling over the edge, we find ourselves walking on air.

Make your problems adventures and achieve greatness in every situation in life.

I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn’t make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

Over the years, I have observed that nearly all high achievers know how to make good of those 1440 minutes in each day.

I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.
